Hill Climb May 2008

Rick is participating in the Hill Climbs in Troy Kansas again this year. We will keep you all updated on this blog, so please check back regularly. The first hill climb this year was on May 18th he ranked 5th in his class. He went up the hill in 8.298 seconds and 8.12seconds . He did great. Of course he wants to go up the hill faster, so that means a big bore kit is in the future.


Here is a video from last year............Enjoy

You can visit the website at http://www.kingofthehill.org/ for all the Hill Climb dates. The hill climbs run from May until September.

Grades!

Here are Marty's final grades from 4th grade:
Reading: A-
Writing: A-
Math: A-
Science: C+
Social Studies: A

Okay we need to work on Science! It shows his grade in science the first trimester was a B, second trimester was a B, and third trimester was a C+. Every item listed in the science section, he went from an M (making progress) to an S (successfully exhibits learner behaviors). So, I am not sure why his grade went down. I would have to assume it was a final test score! We will have to watch this in 5th grade!

Overall I would say Marty did very well! Bravo to Marty!!!

School is out!

Marty is out of school. He will be going in the 5Th grade! Wow! If feels like yesterday I was dropping him of at preschool and crying the whole way to the car. If he only knew how hard it was on his mom for him to go to school.

Marty is looking forward to swimming this summer. Marty can now dive down to the bottom of the pool and get the torpedo. He's a great swimmer. Seeing him swim on his own is priceless!

Enjoy the video.........

Marty and I went out mushroom hunting again tonight and only found three. He's a great hunter! Yesterday he spotted the first mushroom, today I spotted the first one. For all of you who think "yuck mushrooms" you need to try them before you judge they are the bomb!! Better than any mushroom I have ever had at any restaurant!! Of course I am the cook in my kitchen.

We take Triumph with us mushroom hunting, we have not been able to teach him to find the mushrooms, maybe someday. We make him smell everyone we find before we pick them, he just tries to eat the mushroom. Silly dog! Marty and the dog got very mud tonight it had just rain a few hours ago and of course I did not have my camera! Wow that's a first for me! Here's a photo from the other day.
